First African American Republican Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron Attacked in Cartoon

Republican Daniel Cameron won the Kentucky Attorney General race and became the first African-American to hold the office in history.

Cameron was recently the target in a cartoon in the Herald-Leader by Joel Pett which Cameron describes as “abhorrent,” “embarrassing,” and “race-baiting.”

The cartoon shows Cameron in a red “MAGA” baseball cap inside a church and speaking in front of a saying  “… And if I were governor in a pandemic, I’d just let you die!!” In the background, Jesus is hanging from a cross with a megaphone in hand, yelling “Cut!!”

Tell me you’re a race baiter, a hater of Christians, and a mocker of faith, all in one cartoon..I present Joel Pett, Herald Leader, as exhibit A. He is nothing but a mouthpiece for the Democrat party. Shame on him and the Herald Leader for allowing this filth. https://t.co/r6umzC7vpT

From The Gateway Pundit:

This is not the first time Pett has attacked Cameron in a disturbing fashion. A prior cartoon depicted President Trump in a KKK robe with Cameron trailing behind him holding onto the tail of the robe.

Cameron, a Republican, said on “National Report” that the cartoon is “absolutely abhorrent, it’s filth … it is absurd, and it is a shame and embarrassing for a large newspaper here in Kentucky to run that sort of trash.”
